This is the most inexplicable case I have ever seen, inexplicably happening, inexplicably ending, and the victim in the case is also the most wronged honest person I have ever seen. When robbing banks with guns, small notes, collar bombs, playing with the police, Kar people dismembering and freezing corpses, betraying their peers, and framing them...... What's the first thing that comes to mind when these words appear together in a case? Yes, it's just a "master's task", a live-action version of a death game.
(Persons involved)
On August 28, 2003, in a bank in Erie, Pennsylvania, a man came to the bank as if to deposit money, and after handing the teller a piece of paper, the other party was a little panicked. Inside is a small essay of tens of thousands of words. Roughly speaking, I have a gun and a bomb around my neck, and give me $250,000.
And the teller seemed to be commonplace, without hysteria, and very calmly put the cash in the bag and handed it to the man. Obviously, she also understands what life is played with a salary of 3,000 yuan, the money belongs to the boss, and only the small life is her own. At this time, the man's face was calm and light, and he even took the opportunity to eat a lollipop. After getting the money, the man drove away to a KFC, took out a small note under the rocks on the side of the road, looked at it, and prepared to go.
(Notes)
It's a pity that he can't go, because the police surrounded him, and the man also looked cooperative, when he saw the police handcuffs himself, the man suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered: Officer, people are so scared, wearing a time bomb around his neck.
The police officer who heard this jumped five meters away, and after the other police officers carefully ripped off the man's clothes, they saw that he had something like a bomb around his neck. After cordoning off the nearby streets, the police were in a hurry, and the man was actually more anxious than them, he knew what the police were waiting for, and all he could do was wait for death.
(On-site)
The man just muttered that he was too unlucky, he was a knight who delivered pizza, but he suddenly met three men in black, who not only robbed him of his pizza, but also put a collar bomb on him, so that he could live according to the content of the note. The police officers present looked at each other, could it be that everything the man did was really the master's task?
Just when the police were thinking about the truth and falsehood, there was a sudden ticking sound at the scene, and then under a loud bang, the man died on the spot. In the man's car, the police found some small things, the first one was a diary, the first half told the police that there are many ways to detonate a bomb, and he happens to know a lot. The second half of the part is like a task, and as long as the participating men can complete it, it seems that they will be able to find a way to live.
However, the police knew that this was not possible, because several of the tasks on the diary required at least three hours, and the owner of the diary had a one-hour time limit for participation. The man's first task was to go to the bank to rob 250,000 yuan, and the second task was to get a small note, on which the third task was recorded, which was to go to a small grove to pick up a glass jar, and the fourth task was recorded inside, to remove a red rope from a 50-meter-high tree.
(Notes)
One of the officers volunteered to take on the task, but when he climbed the tree, he didn't see anything superfluous. At this moment, he noticed a blue car suddenly driving on the road in the distance, and after making a 360-degree U-turn on the spot, he turned around and drove towards the mountain.
After reporting what they had seen and heard, the police felt that the blue car that suddenly appeared was likely to be the initiator or mastermind of the game, and his purpose should be to kill the man.
At this time, the police also investigated his identity, named Blake, who was indeed a pizza delivery person. When he was in the store that day, someone called, and the boss was supposed to answer the phone, but because the boss was old and couldn't hear clearly, Blake finally answered the phone.
(Blake)
It turned out to be a food order call, and Blake delivered the pizza to the bottom of a signal tower according to the address, and then three masked men suddenly appeared and put bombs on him, telling him to complete the task in order to survive. After the police found the signal tower, they found traces of an electric car and some scattered footprints underneath, and everything seemed to be as Blake said, he just had a bad life.
As for the follow-up investigation, the police did not know, because it involved the bank and the bomb, and Fobol took over. After the troops split up, some people investigated Blake himself, some people investigated the source of the bomb, and some people compared the diary notes.
Let's start with Blake, nothing special, he's just a single old man, which he found out from a small book full of phone numbers in his house. At first, the people who saw this small book thought it was a big clue, and after calling one by one to ask, they found out that the people recorded on it were some sex workers.
(Bomb)
As for the source of the bombs, it was found that they were all dismantled from different ordinary machines, and there was not much investigative value. It is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate the study of the bomb, the police actually took Blake's head off, and after finding that An was not good, they cremated him. Finally, there is the comparison of notes, which is not much to talk about, because it is the mass version of the copy shop.
At this point, the investigation reached an impasse, and just when Phoborer was in a hurry, Blake's colleague suddenly collapsed, and the cause of death was a drug overdose. At this juncture, someone suddenly slammed, and Phobore suspected that his death had something to do with Blake. While I was investigating, I heard the news that someone was sick again. It turned out to be an old man who called the police and said that there was a hard body in his refrigerator, and hoped that the police would come and bring him back quickly. After arriving at his house, the police really took the body back, and by the way, Bill also took him back to the police station.
Afterwards, Bill confessed that he had a friend Marjorie, and Marjorie had a good friend named Roden, and one day Marjorie suddenly called him and told him that she was going to kill Roden and hoped that he would help. However, when Bill came to Marjorie's house, he saw a Rowden who had already died, and it turned out that Marjorie had given Rodden a peanut. It's just that Marjorie begged Bill to buy a shredder to dispose of Roden's body, but the soft-hearted Bill couldn't do it, so he froze Roden.
(Roden)
When the police rushed to Marjorie's home, they found blood on the floor of her house, and the gun in her house matched Roden's wounds, so Marjorie was happy to carry a silver bracelet. However, Marjorie, who was arrested, called herself wronged, and her statement was completely opposite to Bill, saying that Bill was the real murderer.
After investigating Bill with a sense of disappointment, the police found nothing out of the ordinary, so Marjorie was undoubtedly sentenced. But one of the officers re-investigates and feels that something is wrong, and his sixth sense tells him that Bill and Black are a little bit related.
One is that Bill's house is around the signal tower, and the other is that Bill sells his dilapidated house at a high price, or for $250,000. The most important point is that Bill wrote a suicide note, "Blake's death has nothing to do with me", don't you say that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?
(Bill)
After investigating Bill again, the police found that he also had a roommate, Sparto, but the other person left the day after Black's death, and the police who felt that there was a story to check, it turned out that Spartato was still a fugitive sexual predator, so they arrested him.
And Bill's explanation for the suicide note is that he knows the hard work of the police, so he hopes that the police will not waste time on him, although everyone does not believe this statement, but after investigation, the police still did not find any intersection between Bill and Blake, so in the end Bill was released.
A year has passed, and there is still no clue to Blake's death. And Bill also died of illness, and when Marjorie heard about it, this time she took the initiative to say that Roden's death was actually her doing. Just as the police were about to re-charge her, she told them she was mentally ill. Therefore, there is a high probability that he will be given a light sentence.
(Qiao Li)
Originally, if ordinary police officers were faced with this kind of result, most of them would think that it was good to close the case. But there are always two kinds of people, a police officer always feels that there must be some kind of connection between Blake and Bill, and that Roden's death should not be another case, but a follow-up to Blake's death. So, the officer tries to write a letter to Marjorie, hoping that she will tell him the truth.
Unexpectedly, Marjorie really replied, saying that she could tell the police the truth, but she asked the police to agree to her two requests, one was to find her a famous lawyer, and the other was that she hoped that she could be transferred to a prison with not too difficult conditions.
After the police agreed, Marjorie told the truth, in fact, Blake's death was not an accident, and the murderer was Bill. She then gave evidence, one is that the bomb at that time was modified by Bill using the machine in his kitchen, and the other is that Bill also has a blue car. When the police arrived at Bill's house, the brave young man was pretty sure it was the car.
(Police)
Some people may ask why the police didn't notice such an obvious clue in the first place. In fact, it was because the state police were investigated at the beginning, and later it was Fobole, and the two did not eat in the same bowl, and the police omitted some when sorting out the information to Fobole.
In addition, the police once again re-checked the original law enforcement record surveillance, and this time found an important clue, the indication line on a drawing in Bill's home turned out to be exactly the same as the original collar. And an imprint extracted from one of the pieces of paper is the same as Bill's signature.
(Qiao Li)
At this point, the police deduced that Marjorie's words should be partially true, and that Bill was indeed connected to Blake's death. But Jory didn't want to say more, just said that she only knew that Bill had made the bomb, and she didn't know what happened after that. In order to get clues, Fobol made the details of the case public, and this trick really worked, and soon received clues from the enthusiastic crowd. It turned out that someone had seen Bill and Jory very affectionately together that day, and they were still driving blue cars.
(Roden)
As a result, Fobol learns some truths through her roommates, such as the fact that several people actually know each other, and that Roden died because he did not agree to the robbery. What's even more outrageous is that the police also know that Bill and others once measured Blake's neck size, which means that Blake actually knows the truth, so why is he gone?
Therefore, the police speculated that it should be Blake who did not know that the bomb he wore around his neck was actually a real bomb, which is why he was so calm at first.
(Collar)
In fact, there are still several questions in this case, one is why Bill killed Blake, and the police later learned that Bill was suffering from cancer, and he wanted to go crazy one last time before leaving. Second, why is it 250,000? This is about Spartato, he and Qiao Li are friends, Qiao Li wants to kill his father, and Spartator gives an offer of 250,000. The third is that Blake originally seemed to have nothing to do with these people, how did he know each other?
This has to be said of another man, Barnes, who is a drug seller, and Jessica, another woman, who is a drug addict and a good friend of Blake. One day she couldn't stand it anymore so she approached Barnes to ask for credit, Barnes of course disagreed, but said that if she could find herself an honest and honest person, she was willing to give her $500, so Jessica recommended Blake.
(Jessica)
Afterwards, Jessica said that Blake had been with her the day before the crime and was unlikely to participate in the so-called program. If that's the case, Blake is really the most wronged.
